Yes Fred, well spotted its K tec that do the supersports stealth option.

My 172 exhaust is hanging on now by a bees dick and I am looking to replace it with a stealth stainless cat back system. I am not keen on big tailpipe/s on display or chavvy/boy racer noisy systems, just something for everyday use. I cant decide on whether to go for the K Tec or Yozza as...

Let me know what you get quoted from K brown as I am looking to get it done too.

Anyone recently had belts done in central Scotland? Price? Any good?

Kenny Brown is in Hillington but not heard anything good or bad to comment. I too am looking for someone local failing which I will bite the bullet and buy the timing tools.

Soft as in prone to breaking.

Check front springs as they are soft and prone to breaking.

If you read down the thread I have inserted an extract near the end from a Renault technical note. I agree there was a load o pi$$sh to read through to find it though.

Sorry my crystal ball has packed up and didnt know he had just bought the cup and if its so obvious that you missed the "t" then why didnt you spot it?

I concede slightly on the 3k it was £2100

Sorry ....in the first place....as in new. How can you speak for everyone who bought a new cup?

at least learn how to use the forum first without spouting garbage Yes very constructive indeed! Oh and what garbage are you so adultly referring to?

[ What made you buy the Cup in the first place? Probably because it was about three grand cheaper to buy in the first place.

What is your present and proposed tyre width?

The clamp supplied by Renault is crap and you may have to stick a weld on to secure it or it will fall off. £138 supplied and fitted sounds ok.

I was in this position last year and spent weeks listening to docks but went for the Jamo i300 which blew the rest within the pricerange away. I only paid £102 for it too as it has a tiny scratch on the back of it.

If the wheel bearing was worn to the point that the piston within the caliper was pushed back then the vehicle would drive as though it was on three wheels and pedal vibration would be the least of your worries.

Thats why the thermostat opens and closes.

A worn wheel bearing would be held true by braking.

This sounds like warped discs and should be replaced along with the pads, unless the ABS is triggering whereby you will feel the pedal pulsing and a warning light illuminating on the dash. This could also be caused by excessive play within the front suspension bushes/joints.

The coolant temerature will not be affected by ambient temperature in any way, it may just take a little longer to reach it. It sounds like the thermostat, however the fact that the gauge rises when reversing uphill suggests that it may be an electrical issue.

Firstly the resistance on the clutch pedal is constant whether the car is running or not. I would investigate the"clunky" noises first as they sound most serious which tbh could be number of things in either the engine or transmission. I am afraid with the info given it will be impossible to...

The original was one piece from the flange at the cat. You will need to cut and clamp a replacement back box on but tbh the clamp often loosens and a few tack welds sort it.

AVG slowed my pc down and you could not set scan dates it decided when it wanted to scan. I use Avast now and its also free.

It will be the alternator and the smell is electrical burning (overheating insulation) very common fault. There have been cases where they have caught fire, get it checked asap.

3 is cheapest by miles but its a wee bit slow.

Check alternator output as it sounds like it on its way out.

TBH I have never driven the 182 but I have both the 172 and the 172 cup and there is f*ck all difference in performance or handling, its all down to comforts. Test drive them all and make your own mind up as there are weekly threads like this and its all down to personal choice.
